CT’s largest nonprofit advocacy group formed by merger

The Connecticut Association of Nonprofits and the Connecticut Community Providers Association have agreed to a merger, creating a new 600-member association called Connecticut Community Nonprofit Alliance.

The merger, under consideration for years, creates the largest advocacy organization for nonprofits in Connecticut and is effective Feb. 1. The mission of the new organization, according to a statement, will be to advocate and build capacity for community-based, nonprofit organizations that strengthen and sustain healthy communities.

The combined associations represent nonprofit organizations that advocate for and provide human services, health care, arts and culture, housing, recreation, education, and anti-poverty programs. The combined membership employs more than 100,000 individuals, and spend about $3 billion each year.

“By merging our two organizations, we make our voice stronger, and we can more effectively advocate for the half-million individuals our members serve every day, in every city and town in Connecticut,” Andrea Ferrucci, CCPA board chair, said.

Membership in the new association is open to all Connecticut nonstock, nonprofit corporations whose missions are consistent with that of the new association.
